Don't waste your time spraying, ***** ghetto imo. Buy them smoked from ebay, had it done on my old Camaro and looked mega raw....

Idk if you can see them.
My fronts were clear though but your pewter would look SICK smoked, non sprayed.

You wouldn't be able to tell if mine were sprayed.

VHT is only used for Clear Plastic, it doesnt have enough coverage to paint regular things..
Here is what I used for my whistlers.
I love this spray paint because the spray nosil is almost like a real Spray Gun. Paint comes out wide and even.

I don't use any other type of spray can, these are the best I have used and i've used hundreds over the years.. Although, I mostly spray with my air gun now but in a pinch these are great.

I could understand doing this if the car was a dark color... but it just looks out of place on a lighter color. Just because its "custom" doens't mean it looks better... especially the pitch black ones on silver and red/orange cars. If anything, leaving them alone or painting them body color would look way better then having a black useless square on the side of your car. This is just my opinion but I like to stick to the "more is less" philosophy. Sorry if this post offends the "custom" crowd

Ya'll just got me into doing this mod lol. Im going to VHT my tails and leave the reverse light section white and the left over spray just going to VHT my side markers and turn signals as well. I will eventually still get the clear w/ smoked housing turn signals and side markers when I get the SLP grille but that won't be for awhile so I guess I can sport the black markers/signals for a bit. Since my car is NBM, would pitch black tails look good?

My old LT1 with the ebay "smoke lens" corner lenses. Much better than spraying. If you do decide to spray, PLEASE do not leave it that way. Wetsand, polish, clear, wetsand, polish. I prefer the "smoke-clear" lens look versus blacked out. But that's my .02. Not everyone mind's spending a few extra bucks for a better look.
